UP COMING SHOWS AND AWARDS

I am excited to be included in some very exciting group exhibits coming up in the beginning of the new year! I am also thrilled to have been awarded the 2014 Eureka Fellowship Grant through the Fleischhacker foundation.

Palo Alto Art Center

January 25-April 13, 2014
exhibition that explores the creative potential and artistic
possibilities of graphite. Transcending the potential of the medium of
drawings alone, the exhibition showcases new applications of graphite as
a material of drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. Twelve to
fifteen artists will be included, among them Chris Sicat (San Jose),
who covers tree branches and stumps completely with graphite, and
artists such as Kevin Chen (San Francisco), who creates drawings so
small that a magnifying glass is required to view their intricate
details.

Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe

Guest curated by Santa Fe-based artist Donna Ruff,
this exhibition features a national roster of artists who, like her,
incorporate the New York Times in their work. The exhibition features
drawings, textiles, sculpture, and multi-media incarnations of the
world's newspaper of record from
A.J. Bocchino,
Adam Simon,
Donna Ruff,
Elissa Levy,
Francesca Pastine,
Fred Tomaselli,
Guy Richards Smit,
Lauren DiCioccio,
Pat Boas,
and Shanti Grumbine.

Museum of Craft and Design

Opens February 1, 2014 through March 30, 2014
The Museum of Craft and Design presents Obsessive Reductive,
a group exhibition that includes approximately 12 artists working in a
variety of media including paper, wood and metal. Participating artists
share the common process of intricately, precisely and "obsessively"
removing material to create extraordinary imagery and sculpture.

Many of these works have reticulating patterns, and in some cases the use of material absence
is employed as a significant design element positioning negative space
as a dominant element. The visual similarity of all featured works in Obsessive Reductive will be the concentrated detail and complexity of the work, despite the various approaches and media.
Featured artists Drew Daly, Brian Dettmer, Jim Dingilian, Adam
Feibelman, Theresa Ganz , Cal Lane, Bovey Lee, Chris Natrop, Aric
Obrosey, Francesca Pastine, Lyndi Sales, Jill Silva, Leigh Salgado,

Yamanhua.
Exhibition curated by Marc D’ Estout.
